Automotif CDLVI...


Here's a Chrysler LeBaron convertible from after the mid-cycle refresh. Mopar milked six model years' worth of sales out of the second generation of LeBarons on the front-wheel-drive K-car platform before giving them a light styling update for the 1993 model year.

Gone were the hidden headlamps of the '87-'92 models, replaced with simpler and cheaper flush headlight lenses. The coupe version disappeared after the '93 model year, leaving the cash-cow convertible to soldier on for two more model years, to 1995. Also vanished were the various turbo fours, meaning that this Radiant Red '93-'95 LeBaron GTC ragtop, which unbelievably still has the factory wheel covers, sports the only motor left in the lineup, the 141-horsepower Mitsubishi-sourced 6G72 3.0L SOHC V-6.
